Ive been wondering something similar, Ive been wondering if they were trying to destablize Mexico for some reason. What benefit would a failed state south of the border be to a Marxist president who hates our country? Hmmmm????? We know they also were running guns to violent cartels with links to Hezbollah in Honduras and Guatemala. How about three failed states near our southern border?1. Create a small army (CIA?)to destabilize Mexico or some other government? Possible,
2. Arm terrorists to start terrorism on our border (They hate America that much). Improbable
3. Guns for contributions from drug cartels to political party. Very possible
4. Personal gain by higher ups (bribes). Very possible
5. Create support for more gun control inside the US. Unlikely
6: Arm LaRaza factions for the 'Reconquista'? Seriously, they've been allowing the invasion for decades now.
